Ethical Hacking Lab 11

I am having a problem with Section 3 step 5 which is on page 30. After clicking the hyperlink in the email, the XP victim PC does not make the connection to the msfconsole on the Kali server. I do not get the screen as shown in Figure 56 on page 31. When I run sessions -l there are not any sessions. Needless to say I redid all the critical steps in section two and still no luck. I even tried copy/pasting the hyperlink into the URL locator in IE. Eventually my lab timed out.
